About the artworkTick-tock, tick-tock. Three clocks with hidden dials are mounted high on the wall. Now that the work is on display, a member of the museum staff must wind the mechanisms every day to keep the clocks running − a repetitive task that highlights the invisible labour we perform throughout our lives. The artist duo Gideonson/Londré are interested in events and processes, the body's internal clock and various biological rhythms. They have, for example, explored the experience of the body's own changes during the small hours, the time of night when many bodily processes occur within us that we are aware of.
